Author's Note: This is my first Teen Titans fic. Yes their are new characters, a new Titans team if you want me to be more specific. As I'm a bigger Marvel fan then DC, expect to see some cross over. Also I'm going to completely take the Marvel time line and rape it, I figure if the writers can kill Captain America with a sniper then I can do with the characters what I want in a fan fiction. (Which also means no Secret Invasion, not that I don't like the Skrulls they are just not needed for this fic. Yes ladies and gents, Deadpool will be making an appearence *hugs a DP plushie* but probably not the Wilson you're familiar with. at least at first. And as always I don't own any of the Titans or any of Marvel's characters. I do, however, call claim to any new mutants or characters, plots, and places I come up with. If you would like to use any of them please contact me first.


It was an average if not slow day for the Titans of the East Tower. Bee had a mild headache, one that she had attributed to allergies, but had still pushed though with her normal early morning workout. Mas y Menos had hurried though their chores, the breakfast dishes, and had situated themselves strategically on the couch and fired up the Game Station 2. After breakfast Aqualad had disappeared, though he'd said nothing, it was pretty much unspoken that he could be found somewhere in the bay surrounding the tower. As for Speedy, well as Bee had discovered the hard way, he wasn't to be disturbed unless a) it was an emergency or b) a supermodel was on the phone or better yet at the door. Otherwise the wise cracking archer was to be left to his beauty sleep, which usually meant seeing him up and about sometime between noon and two in the afternoon.

Mas y Menos had been the first to notice the black clouds that had very quickly built up on the horizon. The twins were not exactly fond of thunderstorms and as this one looked particularly nasty they had ended their game and gone in search of Bee. And after five minutes of hunting for her, which pushed them into near hysterics, they found her. After explaining to the boys in the slowest English, and small amount of Spanish she knew, that provided they stay in the tower they would be fine the boys had calmed somewhat. Her attempt to sooth the twins was quickly put on hold when the archer had appeared.

"Karen the weather alerts going nuts, I can't get it to turn off and stay off." He said between yawns. She glanced at her watch, eleven-thirty, unusually early for him.

"Ok, stay with the boys a minute and I'll see what I can do." He nodded. Dating Cyborg for over a year had given her a much more in depth grasp of electronics, if she liked it or not. So when something went wrong around Titans East, Bee was usually called to fix it.

Roy strayed to a chair and slumped into it as soon as she was out the door. He was not in the mood to baby-sit. They needed to get over their silly little fear, the sooner the better. To Roy's sleepy senses she had only been out of the room a few seconds when the entire tower shut down. No lights, no power, no nothing. What was worse was the backup power didn't click on, even after he sat in the dark a few moments. It was so black in the training room that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, he tried. Mas y Menos jumped to one another, clinging to each other in fear. He could easily hear the two boys chattering in Spanish so fast he couldn't hope to understand. The sudden change was enough to bring the archer from his sleep induced stupor and on full alert. It was strange that something like this had happened. The tower had survived a hell of a lot worse, besides from what he had heard the storm was still out at sea and how could it affect the tower when they ran off a different, private, power source then the surrounding city?

"Guys, you may wanna come see this." Her voice came from the hallway. The three boys groped their way though the blackness, finally finding the door and having to pry it open manually. Once in the hallway they found enough ambient light they could see again. Karen was standing silhouetted against the tinted glass.

Sure they had heard of electrical storms but that was the understatement of the year. Lightening was dancing between the clouds so furiously that the entire sky stayed lit up. And it wasn't just a little bright illumination from behind the clouds; it was like a fluorescent light had been turned on over the water. The water… it dawned on Karen first and her communicator was opened in record time hailing the Atlantian.

"Yea Bee what's up?"
"Do you have any idea what's going on topside?"
"Urm… no?"

"Powers out in the Tower, backups haven't come on, I'm going to get a light and see if I can fix it but besides that… oh the electrical storm of the century is raging over our bay and your out swimming!"

"I'm safe, I'm in the cave on the island." They really should name his lair. A small island, more of a glorified boating hazard sat obstinately in the middle of Steel City's bay. Being Aqualad he'd gone over every inch of it and had found himself an aquatic hideaway. Bee had visited once; the entrance was through a very narrow and rather long tunnel. She had almost gotten closterphobic but it finally opened up into a rather spacious cave.

"Well from here it looks like its right on top of you." Speedy snatched the small communicator from her hands.

"Better get out quick dolphin-boy. Don't want a fried fish."
"Ha ha Speedy."
"I don't want you to get hurt, but I could use an extra set of hands here. What do your fishy friends think of the water?" He didn't respond for a minute or more.

"Something's wrong but I can make it to the Tower in less then five. I should be fine."
"Be careful, if it starts to not feel right go back and get out of the water."
"I'll be fine."


"DP get us out of here!" the man in yellow and brown half growled half yelled from across the room as he aided another sentry in the loss of his head.

"I'd love to but," their was a short gunfire filled pause, "I'm kinda busy!"

"Hurry up! More of them are on the way!"
"I'm work-" the rest of the sentence was silenced by an explosion on the floor below them. Apparently things were as dicey for the rest of the team as it was for the two who'd foolhardily charged up the steps.

"Come on window!" the gunslinger yelled.
"We need to get everyone out."
"We'll flank them, come on!" With that they vaulted out the broken out window.

It was a simple sabotage mission that in most people's mind would have gone horribly wrong, in this case it had gone horribly right. The group engaged with the guards, in the guards barracks no less, was only the diversion. The other two members of the six person squad were accessing the network and stealing any data they could acquire.

"Outsides and quick ladies, northwest, the countdown for my jump is already initiated, twenty seconds." The gunslinger said into the small microphone in their mask all the while ghosting guards that were running toward the barracks.

The group of four were reunited, and though beaten bruised and somewhat out of breath it looked as though their mission was a success.

-War, get Ciph out of here it's to hot for you to come to us.- The telekinetic of the group relayed to the two who were still copying data. The telekinetic didn't wait for a response as a red and black clad arm was outstretched between the four who'd rendezvoused.

"Everyone on, seven seconds." The three men each sat a hand on the glove, physical contact was required to piggy back a teleport.

"Aww fuck." One of them growled. Running full tilt toward them, unbeknownst to the teleporter one last straggler of a goon was coming in for a tackle. With an 'oomph,' a bright flash, and a disturbing sinking feeling the four, plus one, were plunged into darkness.
